It was always beautifully positioned.

On the ridge above Palm Beach, backing onto tranquil bush parkland, Jonah’s a hundred metres down the road, Pittwater not much further.

But it wasn’t really a beachhouse, until designer Iain Halliday weaved his magic.

Now 76 Bynya Road is the quintessential showstopper beachhouse.

Now the focus is on effortless indoor outdoor – alfresco if you like – beach living and entertaining.

Now you look down and over a perfectly round sun-drenched pool and its wonderfully classic landscaping to McKay Reserve.

Now there’s a private top floor retreat, with French doors to an exquisite little balcony and filtered ocean cameo, which split a uniquely Halliday boutique suite.

Now sun and light reach into living spaces, making the most of Halliday trademark touches. High raked ceiling, Carrara marble offset by stainless steel, mosaic tiles, plantation shutters, honed dark timber floor.

There’s three bedrooms, four with study, 2.5 bathrooms – main with bath – ample off street parking, 759 square metres and lots of Miele.
